Nigel Farage flew to Mar-a-Lago, Florida, and has met with Elon Musk amid claims that the world’s richest man – and ‘first buddy’ to President-Elect Donald J. Trump – is poised to donate $100 million to Reform UK.
The meeting lasted for an hour, yesterday (16).
Daily Mail reported:
“They were joined by British property tycoon Nick Candy, a former Tory donor, who was last week unveiled as Reform’s new treasurer.
The meeting will fuel rumors that Mr. Musk, the Tesla boss and owner of X, is ready to plough some of his estimated $300billion fortune into the British political party.”

Musk has repeatedly torched leftist British PM Keir Starmer in recent months, and has shown interest in the rise of Reform.
“Speaking about their talks with Mr Musk in Florida, Mr Farage and Mr Candy said: ‘We had a great meeting with Elon Musk for an hour yesterday. We learned a great deal about the Trump ground game and will have ongoing discussions on other areas’.
[…] ‘We only have one more chance left to save the West and we can do great things together. Our thanks also to President Trump for allowing us to use Mar-a-Lago for this historic meeting. The special relationship is alive and well’.”
Reform’s treasurer Candy has committed to giving £1million of his own money to Reform, but is heading a push to raise ‘tens of millions more’ from other wealthy business figures.
